Tina Kastner is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Grand Island, NE. She has more than a decade of experience, holds membership in the American Highland Cattle Association, and tests her herd regularly for bovine viral diarrhea and Johne’s disease. The cattle graze on native grass pastures and move through rotational paddocks, while calves spend the first weeks in a draft-friendly barn to ensure regular handling and positive human interactions.

Herd health routines are supported by a balanced mineral program and winter shelters designed to protect from harsh weather in central Nebraska near Kearney. Tina values gentle handling, sustainable forage management, and soil conservation practices that reflect her commitment to the land. This combination of tradition and attentive care highlights the Highland breed’s resilient temperament and adaptability. Her farm practices draw on a family tradition of livestock stewardship that spans multiple generations.
